Hey look, I got a redesign! I know, you're all looking at this in a reader. Humor me for a second.

A while ago I realized a few things. I've been at this since 2003, which probably means I am unlikely to stop at least in the near future. (Let's not pause to consider how many reams of gibberish I have written between then and now.) I can't remember the last time I did anything with the design, but it has been years and years and years. I am not a very design-y girl, anyway, and in that time the tools have gotten way more complicated than my talents or inclinations. Obviously, if anything was going to be done about all this mess, I was going to need a professional.

So I asked Sarah Morgan to make me something, with basically no guidelines, just the email equivalent of vague hand gestures and fish faces, because we all know that I rarely have any idea what I want. I am super happy about how this all turned out and now feel sort of guilty for how I've been abusing all of your eyes for all of these years. Finally here's a change that is working in my favor.

I like dirty jokes and cursing like a sailor, red shoes and argyle, potato chips, puppies, traveling, growing things, and smiles from across the room. I like to spend weekday evenings in bars drinking whiskey or at home watching nature documentaries. More >>>
